llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is
referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is
different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are
doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new
switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do
precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead
of an error being emitted.
I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they
emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly
loaded.

Summary:
This change takes the full list of bfd targets that lld supports (see `ScriptParser.cpp`), including generic handling for `*-freebsd` targets (which uses the same settings but with a FreeBSD OSABI). In particular this adds mips support for `--output-target` (but not yet via `--binary-architecture`).
lld and llvm-objcopy use their own different custom data structures, so I'd prefer to check this in as-is (add support directly in llvm-objcopy, including all the test coverage) and do a separate NFC patch(s) that consolidate the two by putting this mapping into libobject.

Summary:
Some flags accepted by --set-section-flags and --rename-section can change a SHT_NOBITS section to a SHT_PROGBITS section. Note that none of them can change a SHT_PROGBITS to SHT_NOBITS.
The full list (found via experimentation of individually setting each flag) that does this is: contents, load, noload, code, data, rom, and debug.
This was found by testing llvm-objcopy with the gnu binutils test suite, specifically this test case: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/copy-1.d;h=f2b0d9e90df738c2891b4d5c7b62f62894b556ca;hb=HEAD

This patch fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41293 and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41045. llvm-objcopy assumed that
it could always read a section header string table. This isn't the case
when the sections were previously all stripped, and the e_shstrndx field
was set to 0. This patch fixes this. It also fixes a double space in an
error message relating to this issue, and prevents llvm-objcopy from
adding extra space for non-existent section headers, meaning that
--strip-sections on the output of a previous --strip-sections run
produces identical output, simplifying the test.

Summary:
BTW, STLExtras.h provides llvm::size() which is similar to std::size()
for random access iterators. However, if we prefer qualified
llvm::size(), the member function .size() will be more convenient.

This is a fix for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40007.
Idea is to swap the order of stripping. So that we strip sections before
symbols what allows us to strip relocation sections without emitting
the error about relative symbols.

llvm-objcopy previously knew nothing about data in segments that wasn't
covered by section headers, meaning that it wrote zeroes instead of what
was there. As it is possible for this data to be useful to the loader,
this patch causes llvm-objcopy to start preserving this data. Data in
sections that are explicitly removed continues to be written as zeroes.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41005.

Fix: r356853 + set AddressAlign to 4 in
Inputs/compress-debug-sections.yaml for the new group section introduced.
Original commit message:
Currently, llvm-objcopy incorrectly handles compression and decompression of the

This patch fixes the reason of ubsan failure (UB detected)
happened after landing the D59638 (I had to revert it).
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/sanitizer-x86_64-linux-bootstrap-ubsan/builds/11760/steps/check-llvm%20ubsan/logs/stdio)
Problem is the following. Our implementation of GroupSection assumes that
its address is 4 bytes aligned when writes it:
template <class ELFT>
void ELFSectionWriter<ELFT>::visit(const GroupSection &Sec) {
ELF::Elf32_Word *Buf =
reinterpret_cast<ELF::Elf32_Word *>(Out.getBufferStart() + Sec.Offset);
...
But the test case for D59638 did not set AddressAlign in YAML. So address was
not 4 bytes aligned since Sec.Offset was odd. That triggered the issue.
This patch teaches llvm-objcopy to report an error for such sections (which should
not met in reality), what is better than having UB.

GNU objcopy can support output formats like elf32-i386-freebsd and
elf64-x86-64-freebsd. The only difference from their regular non-freebsd
counterparts that I have observed is that the freebsd versions set the
OS/ABI field to ELFOSABI_FREEBSD. This patch sets the OS/ABI field
according based on the format whenever --output-format is specified.

This patch changes llvm-objcopy's behaviour to not strip sections that
are in segments, if they otherwise would be due to a stripping operation
(--strip-all, --strip-sections, --strip-non-alloc). This preserves the
segment contents. It does not change the behaviour of --strip-all-gnu
(although we could choose to do so), because GNU objcopy's behaviour in
this case seems to be to strip the section, nor does it prevent removing
of sections in segments with --remove-section (if a user REALLY wants to
remove a section, we should probably let them, although I could be
persuaded that warning might be appropriate). Tests have been added to
show this latter behaviour.

in zlib-gnu compression format. But if zlib-gnu used then the name of the compressed

a zlib-gnu format and section should be treated as a normal uncompressed section.

Summary:
Removing a large number of sections from a file with a lot of symbols can have abysmal (i.e. O(n^2)) performance, e.g. when running `--only-section` to extract one section out of a large file.
This comes from iterating over all symbols in the symbol table each time we remove a section, to remove references to the section we just removed.
Instead, do just one pass of symbol removal by passing a hash set of all the sections we'd like to remove references to.
This fixes a regression when running llvm-objcopy -j <one section> on an object file with many sections and symbols -- on my machine, running `objcopy -j .keep_me huge-input.o /tmp/foo.o` takes .3s with GNU objcopy, 1.3s with an updated llvm-objcopy, and 7+ minutes with llvm-objcopy prior to this patch.
